I bought this light in the bronze finish and it looks even better in person than in the picture. I am very pleased with the quality and value of this fixture. I can't personally attest to the instructions and assembly because an electrician put it in as part of a larger project.

We purchased this light to replace one in our small kitchen. Installation was easy, the light was well made, and the shipping was unbelievably fast! We received the light the next day! Because of limited space, we chose to put in 3-26W (100 watt equivalent) fluorescent bulbs. There are no shadows, and it suits our purposes nicely!

We purchased 3 of these lights for different bedrooms. My husband had a little difficulty putting the first one up, but after he figured it out the other 2 went up quickly and smoothly. They look attractive and give off sufficient light.

How would you rank the quality of instructions and ease of installation/set-up?

I chose this fixture to replace a horrid plastic "bubble" fluorescent light in a kitchen that receives no natural light. It only takes three 60-watt maximum bulbs; I wish it were a little brighter. The kitchen is not large.
